Tally Launches In-Browser Tool to Verify Spreadsheet Data Against Sources
Key points
- Tally recomputes spreadsheet figures against source data.
- It identifies discrepancies and provides exact rows for proof.
- The tool can connect to Google Sheets and QuickBooks.
- Verifications can be shared via a "✓ Verified" link.
Tally's Core Functionality
Tally is a new verification tool designed for business reports and spreadsheets. It operates by independently recomputing every figure from a user's source data. The tool then indicates which numbers align with the source and which do not, providing the specific rows as evidence for any discrepancies.
Workflow Integration and Automation
Users can upload files or connect Google Sheets to Tally for verification. The tool can also re-pull connected sheets daily or weekly, automatically re-verifying figures and notifying users if data changes or stops tying out. This automation aims to provide continuous oversight without manual intervention.
Shareable Verification and QuickBooks Integration
Each verification performed by Tally generates a shareable "✓ Verified" link. This link allows others to click on any figure and view the underlying rows that support its verification. Additionally, Tally can connect with QuickBooks to reconcile report figures against actual invoices and credit memos, identifying any mismatches with document proof. The QuickBooks connection is read-only and does not store copies of financial data.
Real-World Application
An example provided illustrates Tally catching a $3,450 overstatement in a landscaping business's revenue report, caused by a job being counted twice. This demonstrates the tool's ability to identify genuine errors in financial reporting before they are widely disseminated.
